Research on failure mechanism of landslide with retaining-wall-like locked segment and instability prediction by inverse velocity method.

The locked segment is critical for determining the stability of locked segment-type landslides. Research indicates that the volume expansion point marks the transition from the secondary creep stage to the tertiary creep stage in a landslide's evolution, and also separates the stable crack growth stage from the unstable crack growth stage in the locked segment. Identifying the volume expansion point is essential for early warning and predicting locked segment-type landslides.

Experimental study on tilting deformation and a new method for landslide prediction with retaining-wall locked segment.

The destruction of the locked-segment type landslide is often accompanied by the destruction of the locked segment with cumulative effects. Investigating the failure mode and instability mechanism of locked-segment type landslides is crucial. The study uses physical models to examine the evolution of locked-segment type landslides with retaining-walls.

Numerical simulation of the effect of internal hole defect size on the mechanical properties of limestone.

To better understand the effect of the size of hole defects on the mechanical properties of a rock mass, the two-dimensional particle flow discrete element code (PFC2D) is applied to establish rock mass models with single circular hole defects of different diameters. Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests are conducted on each model by only taking the defect size (area) as a variable. This study analyzes each model's stress-strain, contact force chain, crack evolution, meso-damage and failure, and mechanical properties.

Stress-strain and acoustic emission characteristics of cement-based materials used to simulate soft rock with fractures.

Instability failure in rock mass engineering is closely related to expansion of joint fissures. In this study, uniaxial compression tests and acoustic emission (AE) measurements were carried out simultaneously on specimens of soft rock-like material with different fracture angles and connectivity values to better understand their influence on the deformation and failure of the material. The stress-strain curve and AE signal of fractured soft rock-like material are similar to those of intact soft rock-like; specifically, they exhibit a compaction, elastic deformation, stable fracture development, and unstable fracture development.

Linear Stapler versus Circular Stapler for Patients Undergoing Anastomosis for Laparoscopic Gastric Surgery: A Meta-Analysis.

Background: Anastomotic devices, including linear staplers (LSs) and circular staplers (CSs), have been widely used after laparoscopic gastric surgery. However, it is controversial whether linear stapling is superior to circular stapling for anastomosis. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to compare the aspects of postoperative complications, particularly anastomotic stricture and anastomotic leakage, on the use of the two techniques to assist clinical decision-making.

Comparison of Survival and Safety Between Total Omentectomy and Partial Omentectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

The greater omentum can limit abdominal inflammation and act as a protective cushion, but it is always involved in dissemination of gastric cancer. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the survival and safety between total omentectomy and partial omentectomy for gastric cancer. Two investigators independently conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Cochrane Library ranging from January 2000 to November 2020.

Effectiveness and safety of robotic gastrectomy versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a meta-analysis of 12,401 gastric cancer patients.

Advanced minimally invasive techniques, such as robotic surgeries, are applied increasingly frequently around the world and are primarily used to improve the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). Against that background, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of robotic gastrectomy (RG). Studies comparing surgical outcomes between LG and RG patients were retrieved from medical databases, including RCTs and non-RCTs.

13C-Urea Breath Test for the Diagnosis of Infection in Patients after Partial Gastrectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The C-urea breath test (C-UBT) is a kind of safe, noninvasive, and reliable measure for () infection diagnosis in patients with complete stomach. Nevertheless, the test has not indicated fully precision in people who have had a gastrectomy. So, we made the use of a systematic review of plentiful published resources and research and meta-analysis.

Downregulation of long noncoding RNA SNHG7 protects against inflammation and apoptosis in Parkinson's disease model by targeting the miR-425-5p/TRAF5/NF-κB axis.

Accumulated evidence has manifested that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is involved in the progress of Parkinson's disease (PD). SNHG7, a novel lncRNA, has been found to be involved in tumorigenesis. However, SNHG7 expression and its functional effects on PD remain uncharted.

The Long Non-coding RNA Cytoskeleton Regulator (CYTOR) Sponges microRNA- 206 (miR-206) to Promote Proliferation and Invasion of HP75 Cells.

Background: The role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA cytoskeleton regulator (CYTOR) in Invasive Pituitary Adenomas (IPA) have not been elucidated previously.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the interaction between CYTOR and miR-206 and their roles in IPA using HP75 cells as the model.

Methods: The expression levels of CYTOR and miR-206 were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in IPA tissues and cell lines.

The Long Intergenic Noncoding RNA 00707 Sponges MicroRNA-613 (miR-613) to Promote Proliferation and Invasion of Gliomas.

Background: Glioma is one of the most deadly malignant tumors in humans. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a key role in the occurrence, development and invasion of tumors by regulating oncogenic and tumor suppressor pathways. However, the role and action mechanism of long intergenic non-coding RNA 00707 (LINC00707) in gliomas have not been elucidated.

Bio-based antimicrobial packaging from sugarcane bagasse nanocellulose/nisin hybrid films.

Bio-based nanomaterials with antimicrobial functions hold promise in replacing petroleum-based packaging for food preservation. A nanocellulose-based hybrid film with antimicrobial properties was developed from sugarcane bagasse and nisin. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were prepared from sugarcane bagasse pulp by mechanical grinding, and mixed with nisin to prepare CNFs/nisin nanohybrid films.

Correlation of MMP-9 gene polymorphisms with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and its prognosis.

: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH)-associated gene polymorphism is of great significance for the accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment of aSAH.

Derlin-1 functions as a growth promoter in breast cancer.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. Derlin-1 has been found to be overexpressed in several human cancers in addition to playing an important role in tumor processes; however, the expression patterns and functions of Derlin-1 in human breast cancer are not fully understood. In this study, we found that Derlin-1 overexpression was higher in breast cancer compared to normal samples through TCGA and GTEx database analyses.
